At that moment the being said to me, We are getting there, and I then began to feel an infinite love, it was something beautiful which I had never experienced in this life, a series of feelings such as love, joy, happiness, and then he said to me, From here on you have to continue alone, he is there, meaning the one I had to speak to. Then I found myself in front of the Father of the universe, a being of intense but beautiful light which conferred a love which truly one cannot express in words. Just from seeing Him and feeling his presence I was weeping in an incredible way. He wore a white tunic with a golden sash tied at the waist, and at first I could not see His face, but as soon as I was in His presence I fell on my knees weeping and said: My Father, I would like to see Your face, and He answered, Do not weep, stand up, and I stood and then turned to see His face. It had an appearance of grandeur but did not appear old, with silver hair and a thickly-growing silver beard. I don't recall what we talked about, but we did speak for a time. What I most remember are my feelings, as I could not stop weeping from the love I felt which was so strong. In fact I am writing and weeping now, because my soul remembers that meeting. Then the thing I feared most happened. He said to me, You have to go back! And I said, No Father, please, I don't want to, I want to stay here at your side, this is where I belong, don't send me back! And he was saying You have to go back, and I was crying like a baby, because I really did not want to go back, I felt so happy, so complete, and the truth is I did not remember anyone from my life, all I wanted was to stay there for ever. But in some way I was aware that it had only been a visit, with a purpose which I do not recall, though I know that my soul does remember. Then I woke up soaked in tears and I went on weeping like this for quite a while in my bed, but happy, and sad at the same time, that I had returned.

I want to add that from childhood I have had a strange way of reading the thoughts of other people. I know as soon as I see them and start to speak with them what they are like on the inside; I see if they are good, bad, liars etc. This has sometimes led to comments from people that they find it uncomfortable to look me in the eyes, because under my gaze  they feel naked , on the inside, that is. I don't know what that is about, but it was like that from my childhood, which was also very difficult. But that is another story; I want to share with you this experience and I just want to add that God exists and is inside every one of us, because we are all one and we are connected with one another. That is why God tells us Love thy neighbor as thyself, because we are all one, but many of us have to work hard to understand this and spend our time hoarding money and being selfish towards others; but when we understand this, our earthly and our spiritual life will change and we will be different in every way. My advice: try always to do good works, help those in need, even if you don't know them. Perhaps that person was your father or son in another life. I for the moment will try to be better and to help others in need as much as I can. Good luck and thanks for letting me express myself on this site.
